No one was hurt and damage was minimal after a dryer fire at a house on Garnet Street in Broomfield Wednesday morning.

A resident who was home smelled smoke and called 911, said North Metro Fire Rescue District spokeswoman Stacey Mulligan. The fire started in the dryer, Mulligan said. The dryer was damaged, but the home did not sustain structural damage, she said.

Four North Metro engines, a truck and a medic initially responded to the call, but only two engines were needed to contain the fire, which Mulligan said firefighters knocked down quickly. She credited the resident's quick call to 911 for keeping the fire from spreading or the damage from being worse.
